I like all the songs from Fergie, its so good to listen and sing, and the most its really represent all my feeling. Like in this song, ‘All That I Got’, everytime I listen to this song, my heart feels so undescrible, happy, full of love, have spirit, fragile, …
City Of Evil- Avenged Sevenfold CD
I love this album by Avenged Sevenfold, it is one of my favorites next to “Live in LBC and Diamonds in the Rough” because it has some amazing solos and the songs are really fun to play on guitar. Shadows’ vocals are pretty good in this album, but they …
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Song)
Hallowed Be Thy Name is a song by Iron Maiden which appears as the final track on The Number Of The Beast. Opening up with Bruce Dickinson singing along with pretty minimal instrumentation behind him, the song certainly establishes a fairly eerie atmosphere and the sense that something pretty …
Iron Maiden - Fates Warning (Song)
Fates Warning is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album No Prayer For The Dying. The track starts off with a clean guitar part with a melodic lead played over it which is a nice start to the track and actually not a way that Iron …
Jimmy Buffett in general
I don’t know why, but I am a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan. I never can spell his name right though; I’m an awful fan. I love what he brings to music; the idea that music should be fun and an escape from life. I really wish I could just …
Elliott Yamin CD (by Elliott Yamin)
American Idol is one of my favorite TV shows. I’ve watched every show diligently and I must say that I have my favorites and one of them is Elliott Yamin from Season 5. Among the three finalists from that season, the other two being Katherine McPhee and eventual winner …
Killswitch Engage
This is the band’s debut album, released in 2000 of Ferret Records and produced by drummer Adam Dutkiewicz. The album is a really impressive debt from the band, several of the songs Temple From Within, Without A Name, and Vida Infra appear on the bands future album Alive Or …
Head Over Heels (song, Tears for Fears)
Tears for Fears is one of the biggest 1980’s acts of all time. This duo had so many hits. But many of them are very obscure. (How’s that for an oxymoron?) The biggest hit of theirs to date has to be “Head Over Heels.” …
Greatest Hits: Guns N’ Roses album
After watching the show “VH1’s 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs” on New Year’s Eve last year and seeing Guns N’ Roses make the number one spot; I decided to check out some of Guns N’ Roses’ albums for myself. However, since I couldn’t actually find the album at the …
Antics, 2004 Album by Interpol
This is a great record. Interpol is a very talented band, and I personally believe that this is their best record. The debut album sounded rather messy, whereas the albums that were released after this one have rather lazy song-writing. Whereas the 2004 Antics is a fantastic record with …
Metallica - The End Of The Line (Song)
For those of you who heard Metallica play —˜The New Song’ during I believe Summer 2007 then you’ll recognize that the opening riff to The End Of The Line is a riff from one of those songs, just felt that I’d point that out. I’m aware that Metallica said …
Haste The Day: Dreamer
I recently picked up this CD because I am a huge fan of the band Haste The Day. I was very disappointed however when I listened to it. I really don’t like how the band has gotten away from the style that made it good in the first place. …
Tool Lateralus CD
Once in a while a band/artist comes along and totally shakes the foundations of conventional and un-conventional art. In this case, the band is Tool, and the art form in qustion is music. The album in question is Lateralus, a monolithic epic album that transcends all conventional boundries and …
The Best of Blondie
The name for the whole music group and not the lead singer, Deborah Harry, as many suspect, Blondie is one of the most accessible punk groups of the 70’s.
At fist glance, this collection appears to be a complete package of their most successful singles. However, some of the versions …
Bob Dylan - Talkin’ New York (Song)

Whitesnake : Good To Be Raid
Whitesnake back groundbreaking rock music industry after more than 10 years, a break without releasing an album. Still carrying the same theme music, the eleventh album from Whitesnake, dominated the music sounding mid tempo, which has become characteristic of Whitesnake. Apparently not in the young age, David …
Muse - Invincible (Song)
I’m been listening to Invincible by Muse over and over for the last few days so I figured that I just had to write a review about it. The reason I started listening to the song was because Bellamy’s guitar solo on this track was praised so heavily for …
Amber
If you’re looking for an alternative to Britney Spears, one that isn’t so obnoxious and well known, you might really like Amber. I don’t think she’s as widely known, but that doesn’t mean anything because I only found her last year on itunes. She has a sweet voice and …
Animal Collective - Too Soon (Song)
Too Soon is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track on their fourth studio album entitled Here Comes The Indian. The impression I get from Too Soon is that Animal Collective yet again tries to recapture the relaxed sound that they had all throughout Campfire Songs …

Megadeth - I’ll Be There (Song)
I’ll Be There is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Risk. I’ll Be There starts off with a very fast guitar riff which really is just noise at an extremely frantic tempo before leading into a synthesizer part which actually sort of has an Eastern sound …
Delta Goodrem
This Australian singer, Delta Goodrem makes some good music, or rather, sings some good music. I certainly think that she has some strong vocals and that if you are bored or just wanting to hear some love tunes, then go for this album. The title of her album …
She be Like by Git Fresh
What I do remember in this song is the part where Git Fresh is sing Bam bam bam part and the ding ding ding ding part. It also uses the intro of the song Tom’s Dinner by Suzanne Vega, so it is easy to remember. It is a great …

Skindred-Babylon CD
I heard the song “Nobody” on the radio and loved its unique style. It was a mix of rock and reggae with a catchy chorus and a great beat. Unfortunately, it seems the Skindred may end up a one-hit wonder because the rest of the CD is …

Green Day - Stuck With Me (Song)

Slick Dogs and Ponies, 2008 Album by Louis XIV
When this album was released many people were disappointed with it. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I first heard this record as well. The thing is, this album sounds almost nothing like the debut album by this band. Their previous album, released in 2005, sounded …
Me and Little Andy
‘Me and Little Andy’ is such a sad song about a little girl with her puppy knocking on a door in the cold and rain wearing nothing but rags. She tells how her parents have left her alone at the age of six or seven with her puppy. …
The Grateful Dead - In The Dark
Overview - In The Dark, The Grateful Dead’s twelfth effort, is overall just an album that I consider average. I’ll be honest say that there are a few good songs on here, and the opening track really left me hopeful for the rest of the album but I was …

The Grateful Dead - What’s Bome Of The Baby (Song)
What’s Become Of The Baby is a track by The Grateful Dead which appears on their record Aoxomoxoa. I will say right now that this track is quite different sounding from a traditional song and very experimental. I suppose the best way I could preface this song is that …
MGMT - Future Reflections (Song)
Future Reflections is the final song of MGMT’s second record, Oracular Spectacular. I will admit that when I first heard this song, I didn’t really like it, but it has grown on me since then. Opening in an energetic fashion before transitioning into a far more melodic section, the …

Zooropa 1993 Album by U2
This album is a remarkable work of art. There is an atmosphere on this record which is unparalleled. If the previous U2 album was brilliant, this album is post-brilliant. The previous album, Achtung Baby is a collection of very strong tracks, whereas this album feels more effortless and easy. …
Linkin Park
Linkin Park is no doubt one of the best Rock Bands ever, as far as I am concerned, of course. Their songs left a mark in me, to this time I still have a couple of their old songs and I just never get tired of their song. Their …
